why do this goverment discriminate against pensioner who choose to live in countrys they do not approve where they do not get yearly increases after all we are saving the goverment money as not claiming anything in england and not using health servises ect,ect.also on the question of sexual dicrimination why males retire at 65 femails 60? after all femails live longer so not only this but retire earlier? this is very unfair but then this is getting more and more a unfair country !!

Why is this linked to parents income, it should be available to all children as they are going to school for the same reason. Some children get £30 p/w when others get nothing. this is not fair

Exactly very unfair, my daughter's boyfriend paid for all his driving lessons with EMA whilst my daughter didn't qualify for it and had to get a job to pay for hers as we certainly can't afford to give her £30 p/w. Also he got £100 bonuses for attending college regularly and she again got nothing!

Why are prescription costs so dear in England, free in Wales and Northern Ireland(?) and cheaper in Scotland. I htought Gordon Brown was promoting a "fair for all election" I usually have to have two lots of antibiotics as i am allergic to penicillin and that means double cost. Surely if everyone all over the UK paid a smaller price (£2?) including those on benefits this would be fairer.

What about stopping Child Benefit except for the first child and then only for those on low incomes. I dont think that even the rich should get it. also those claiming benefits as they get money elsewhere. Maybe if it was capped to the first child only we wouldn't see all these extremely large families unless they can afford to look after their own children. Also maybe a tax credit for those who do not have children - after all they are not using schools etc.

When will you all learn to tell the truth about everything that will happen while you are in office and this means everything. All we are told is lie after lie and we have all lost faith in you It is time for change but you are all as bad as each other and out to get what you can from the public. This goes to each and every member of the main parties.
